Ana Navarro: A Canadian Couple I Know Doesn’t Want to Get Married in Fla. Because of the Trade Tensions with the U.S.

‘So that‘s money lost for the florist and the caterer and the venue and the parkers and the airlines and the airport workers and the drivers, all in Florida’

EXCERPT:

NAVARRO: “Oh, God. Best-case scenario? That maybe Donald Trump stopped calling Canada the 51st state and goading Canadians, antagonizing them needlessly, trolling them. Look, the reality of the matter is that as much as there may be no love lost between these two, Canada is our neighbor, is our ally, is our trading partner, has been with us every time we‘ve gone into some sort of war or some sort of incursion somewhere. We can‘t have this, you know, impasse, this fight going on with Canada. It is ridiculous. And let me just tell you a little story. Last week I ran into a couple I know, she‘s French-Canadian, he‘s French. They were planning a big wedding in Florida. They‘re no longer getting married in Florida because their relatives and friends don‘t want to travel to Florida. So that‘s money lost for the florist and the caterer and the venue and the parkers and the airlines and the airport workers and the drivers, all in Florida. And it‘s happening in Maine. It‘s happening in so many states that are feeling the pain of Canadians not wanting to come to the United States.”
